This sequel provides great load of screams,grisly murders and creepy atmosphere which becomes pretty sinister with the Samara appearing. The picture is a sleek production with big budget and genuine chills,suspense,tension,shocks and lots of blood,it's a terror-thriller very exciting.The film is narrated with intelligent edition,special use of colour and slick utilization of shock images.Movie has a plethora of special effects describing series of weird and otherwordly happenings and a magnificent make-up by the master Rick Baker specially reflected on the hair-raising countenance of dead. However the surprises from original film have disappeared and results to be an inferior sequel.The eerie musical score is by the excellent Hans Zimmer. The motion picture is correctly directed by Hideo Nakata who made the original Japan version. The flick will like to terror cinema fans.
